Hi I am Shannon, a couple weeks off long term use of Xanax. Almost six years I was prescribed this and I tried to wean off before but was unsuccessful. After a hospital visit I was taken off of it pretty rapidly and at a super low dose of what I had been taking, so now just wondering through every day trying to make it!

Hi Shannon :hug:  Welcome to Benzobuddies

 

We are glad you found our community.  I am really sorry that you were taken off these meds so quickly.  Benzos used long term should be tapered off slow.  Withdrawal symptoms can be severe for a while,  have they settled down any?  Symptoms should ease off, but it can take some time.  I think you will find some comfort communicating with those who are in the same situation as you are. 

 

I will leave a link to the Ashton Manual,  it is a definitive resource about these medications. It helps in understanding the effect benzo’s have on our body.  It provides withdrawal information and includes a list of common symptoms 

 

Professor Ashtons Manual

 

We have a great community here of knowledgeable and friendly people who understand this process.  They will be willing to share their experience with you.  Feel free to ask questions so that members can respond.

 

Here are a couple of links to the support boards:

 

Cold Turkey Detox & Rapid Withdrawal Board

Post withdrawal recovery support board

 

If you could add a signature (history of meds/doses etc) it will help members give you relevant advice.  Go to the top of the page and select PROFILE then choose forum profile then insert drug history into the text box and remember to click change profile

 

Welcome aboard
